why?

Platform LTR encoded is 0x1003 - right. It is meant 1048576ns x 3 = 
3145738ns.
Now,
for 1000M: 0x08b9 => 185ns x 1024 = 189440ns (you are correct)
for 100M: 0x0c3a => 58ns x 32768 = 1900544ns (correct)
for 10M: 0x0e41 => 577ns x 32768 = 18907136ns (ok?)
18907136ns > 3145738ns, (latency encoded is great than maximum LTR 
encoded by platform) - so, there is no point to wait more than platform 
required, and lat_enc=max_ltr_enc. It is expected and we sent right 
value to the power management controller.
What is the problem you try solve?
